Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 792 A Small Request

Surrounding the Xiao mansion, the citizens of Barren City were astonished to see how Raef respected Rocky. In fact, the citizens even thought that Rocky must be a big shot. Little did they know that Rocky was just a mere servant of the Xiao Clan before.

At that point, both Travis and Mary had mixed feelings about what was happening. Mary used to despise Rocky, but now that he had become the Xiao Clan's last hope, she could not help but resent him even more.

"Chief Raef, I don't know why you put so much effort as to offer a reward on me. Is it because I offended Miss Queenie of the Cao Clan and she planned to settle accounts with me?" Rocky asked bluntly.

"You must be kidding me here, Mr. Rookie. Listen, I know I misunderstood you in the past, so please give me the chance to apologize to you in person,” Raef immediately responded with a humble smile.

"I won't dare let the chief of the Xiao Clan to apologize to me. Chief Raef, you must have something else to tell me. Just say it. Don't beat around the bush. I can take it," Rocky sneered. He thought that it was not Raef's nature to apologize for what happened last time. There must be something wrong. "Okay, you got me. I'll be frank with you, Mr. Rookie. Do you remember Master Lucas of the Cao Clan? The one who came with Miss Queenie the last time..." Seeing that Rocky was not easy to fool, Raef knew he had to tell him the truth, or he would find it out from other people.

"Oh, Master Lucas! Yes, I do. So what's wrong with him?" Rocky answered.

"So, here is the thing. Master Lucas seems to appreciate your talent very much, so he particularly recommended you to the chief of the Cao Clan. After that, the chief of the Cao Clan decided to let you, Travis, and Mary attend the Beast Master Contest of the Timber Deity Empire on behalf of the Xiao Clan," said Raef with an optimistic expression on his face. On the other hand, he was also worried, because he didn't know if Rocky would agree to represent the Xiao Clan to attend the contest.

Surprised to hear such a thing, Rocky wondered why Lucas even recommended him to the chief of the Cao Clan in the first place. On another note, this might have something to do with how he had saved Queenie before. However, Queenie must be feeling nothing but hate for him. How could she let Lucas recommend him to the chief? In addition to that, he was sure that if Queenie laid her eyes on him, she would be furious. That was why he vowed to never see her again.

"Sorry, but I'm not interested.” Rocky refused the offer in a straightforward manner.

"Oh, come on. Give it another thought! If you don't go, then the other two slots of the Xiao Clan will be canceled as well. The future of the Xiao Clan rests on this year's Beast Master Contest. I hope you reconsider the offer. Of course, the Xiao clan will treat you fairly and with utmost care. In fact, we are ready to give you anything you want and need,” Raef promised as cold sweat started to drip from his forehead. Although he was already prepared for Rocky's refusal, he still got nervous the minute he heard Rocky refuse him

"I don't want to repeat what I just said. Even if you knelt down before me and begged me, I still would not change my decision," Rocky said indifferently as he waved his hand.

The members of the Xiao Clan heard Rocky's words and could not help but gasp in surprise. They didn't expect that a mere servant of the clan could get that cocky and domineering in front of their chief.

"How fucking dare you!" Travis shouted angrily upon hearing his refusal.

"Travis, don't be so rude!" Raef immediately yelled at Travis. He knew that now was time for him to bear the shame and be humble in front of Rocky. It didn't matter if Rocky had insulted him; he would accept every slander that he would throw upon him as long as he could take part in the contest on behalf of his clan.

However, Mary seemed to have made up her mind as she walked towards Rocky with a sexy smile on her face. "It seems that you are still angry with us, Mr. Rookie. In fact, I have done a lot of rude things to you before, and I want to sincerely apologize for that. Now, could you please do me a favor and help the Xiao Clan? After everything is done, I promise you that you will be greatly rewarded," she said. At that point, she thought that she could easily charm him

Seeing that Mary even used the honey trap, Rocky also smiled with disdain written all over his face. Like father, like daughter. In order to achieve their goal, both of them would do everything to push through with their intention.

"If there is nothing else that we should talk about, then I would rather leave now," said Rocky. Not wanting to have anything to do with the Xiao Clan, he wanted to leave at that very moment.

Seeing that he didn't bite the bait, Mary seemed a little angry. However, she turned her eyes and suddenly said, "Mr. Rookie, even if you want to leave, you should go and see my sister first. After you left last time, she didn't have any appetite for food and drinks, because she felt that you left the Xiao Clan all because of her. I thought you should know that she feels so guilty. In fact, she has lost a lot of weight since then."

Mary's words seemed to have successfully captured Rocky's weakness and made him stop at once. Turning back, his arrogant smile switched into a frown. He said, "Miss Mary, it seems that you have misunderstood something. There's nothing special between Miss Juey and me."

"Well, that's what you think, Mr. Rookie. But my sister is a single-minded person. She would never forget those who once helped her,” Mary said when she saw that Rocky actually cared about Juey very much.

Meanwhile, Rocky somehow believed that what Mary said was true, because he knew that Juey was a soft-hearted girl. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Where is she?"

"Right this way, Mr. Rookie.” As soon as she finished her words, Mary nodded to Raef and left with Rocky.

"Thank God. Mary's plan is working." Seeing that Rocky had finally chosen to stay, Raef felt relieved. "Father, are we really going to act so humble in front of him?" Obviously, Travis also shared the same feeling they had towards Rocky.

"The Beast Master Contest is very important to our Xiao Clan. In any case, as long as Rookie can participate on behalf of our clan, then there is no price too high. But I can see that the guy seems to have a crush on Juey. Maybe we can make use of it while he still admires her,” Raef said with an evil smile.

"Father, do you mean that we are going to use Juey to our advantage? I don't think it's a good idea.” Travis' face changed dramatically.

"It's none of your business. Focus on getting ready to take part in the Beast Master Contest,” Raef said. He glared at Travis and left afterwards.

On the other hand, Rocky walked in the Xiao mansion along with Mary. They walked past an arched door that led to a long corridor surrounded by green trees and red flowers. After walking with such a pleasant scene, they arrived at the backyard of the mansion.

"Where have you been these days, Mr. Rookie? It seems that you have set out for a long journey,” Mary said. Seeing that Rocky didn't talk much, she decided to initiate a topic that they could talk about.

"I'm not that familiar with you yet, Miss Mary. I don't think I need to tell you where I've been," Rocky replied coldly.

Upon hearing his harsh words, Mary felt enraged. If it weren't for keeping Rocky to stay and take part in the Beast Master Contest on behalf of the Xiao Clan, she would not display humility in front of him. In fact, she could not wrap her head around as to why a mere servant of the clan captured Lucas’ attention. Lucas had even recommended Rocky to the chief of the Cao Clan in person. Despite what Lucas thought of him, Mary sensed that Rocky was not a Beast Master at all. In fact, all she knew about him was that he was just a little smart.
